The paper presents a series of finger rings with/or gems of Mediterranean origin unearthed in Bohemia in Late Iron Age contexts. The rings and gems are studied from formal and stylistic point of view; results of technological analyses are also taken into consideration. The assemblage of finger rings from Bohemia is subsequently confronted with other Transalpine finds. The imported rings are relatively numerous in Bohemia but they are of a mediocre quality. Issues concerning the function of rings in the Late La Tène society as well as their role as indicators of romanisation are discussed in the end of the paper.

The paper discusses a bronze pendant in the form of an embraced human couple. Though said to have been found in Jaroměř, Eastern Bohemia, the artefact clearly belongs to a well defined group of pendants produced in the 9th–8th c. BC in Southern Italy. The paper discusses typological determination, chronology and iconography of the artefact as well as the problematic question of its authenticity.

The current report presents the results of the 2017 excavations of two prehistoric sites in, or in the vicinity of, the Zarabag Oasis, South Uzbekistan. In the Yaz I settlement of Burgut Kurgan, the 2017 excavation season focused on a small portion of the stone wall and was not able to confirm the presence of a gate hypothesised during the 2016 excavations. A trial excavation consisting of three trenches (BBL01–BBL03) was conducted at the site of Bobolangar, which was discovered during a previous field survey in 2016. The pottery sherds collected on the surface of Bobolanghar were from the Late Bronze Age and the date of the site was confirmed by the presence of Late Bronze Age pottery in secure stratigraphic contexts. Moreover, two burials were found in trench BBL03. Based on the characteristics of the burial traditions, it is likely that both individuals were interred during the Middle Ages and the graves were cut into the Late Bronze Age layers of the site. The human skeletons were exceptionally well‑preserved and preliminary details of the bioarchaeological analyses are presented here.

The paper summarises the results of the second season of exploration of the Yaz I walled settlement of Burgut Kurgan, south Uzbekistan. The 2016 excavations concentrated on the further investigation of the stone wall and on bringing to light one entire settlement unit.

In its three field seasons between 2015 and 2017 the Czech‑Uzbekistani archaeological mission has focused on the area of the eastern Kugitang piedmonts, especially the Paskhurt Valley (southern Uzbekistan) in order to examine its historical cultural development. As one of the simultaneous activities, excavations of various selected kurgans and kurgan‑like features, which were newly detected in the area have been undertaken. Special attention was paid to the connection between kurgans and settlement sites nearby, particularly those of the Yaz I period (Early Iron Age Period, late 2nd millennium BC). Three kurgans of the Yaz I period have been uncovered, however their purpose was not identified with a sepulchral use, but rather with a ritual one. Besides the excavation of – in local terms – larger kurgans at the site of Kayrit 1, lesser simple stone structures were also excavated.

This text summarizes the preliminary results of the first season of archaeological excavations at the site of Burgut Kurgan in Pashkhurt Valley, south Uzbekistan, which were conducted by the Czech‑Uzbekistani‑French team in 2015. The site represents a unique walled settlement of the transitional period between the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age of southern Central Asia.

is report summarizes the starting points, methods and results of the archaeological research of the Czech-Uzbek team investigating the Hellenistic selements in the vicinity of Darband, in the upper reaches of the Sherabad Darya, in the Baysun District of southern Uzbekistan in season 2019. A significant amount of archaeological material has been obtained using a systematic surface metal detector survey and targeted excavations of a limited scope. We were able to confirm that some of these sites, such as Daganajam Tepa and perhaps also Mirzali, were inhabited only in the Hellenistic period, while in the case of the others, a selement in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC was only one of their occupation phases (Kapchigay Tepa, Darband wall).
